The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the oldest federal law enforcement agency, investigates crimes involving the U.S. mail and enforces related laws. Its inspectors and officers carry firearms, make arrests, execute federal warrants, and serve subpoenas to enforce roughly 200 laws relating to the mail, the postal system, and its employees and customers. The service also maintains a uniformed Postal Police force that protects critical facilities and escorts high-value shipments, alongside a state-of-the-art forensic laboratory in Dulles, Virginia. Based in Washington, DC, USPIS operates through 17 divisions nationwide and employs thousands of professionals. A recent development is a collaboration with the Butler City Police Department to educate the public about scams involving the postal network.
